The 2006 APEC Micromouse Competition

The 2006
APEC Micromouse Competition was held last night at the Hyatt Regency
in Dallas, Texas as part of the 2006 Applied
Power Electronics Conference. The event draws Micromouse builders
from around the world. The competition consists of a 10 foot by 10 foot
square maze. Robots must navigate from the outside to the center of the
maze in the shortest possible time (see the Micromouse
rules for more details). Last night's event drew quite a crowd and
featured some very fast robots that completed the maze in just 7 to 8
seconds. I took a few
2006 APEC Micromouse photos to give you an idea of what goes on at a
Micromouse competition.
